So!  It seems that this time releasing is really hard.  :-)

I=E2=80=99d like to do a rebuild without any package replacements, in the h=
ope
that the release itself has no or few grafts in place, mostly because:

  =E2=80=A2 performance is currently degraded in the presence of grafts, in
    particular the repeated =E2=80=9Cupdating the list of substitutes=E2=80=
=9D (I have a
    rough idea on how to fix, but we=E2=80=99d rather not hold our breath);

  =E2=80=A2 they increase disk usage, so the USB images would be bigger.

So, on this branch, I=E2=80=99d incorporate:

  dbus and dbus/activation
  eudev and eudev-with-blkid
  graphite2 and its replacement
  perl and its replacement
  openssl and its replacement

I don=E2=80=99t want to base it on =E2=80=98core-updates=E2=80=99 because t=
here are potentially
disrupting changes in there.

Thoughts?
